- Random variables
- Mathematical expectation
- Independence of sigma-algebras
- Notions of convergence and limit theorems
- Conditional expectations
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will have a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of probability theory. They will be capable of confidently presenting the theory taught in the course and applying it effectively in practical exercises. Additionally, they will be familiar with commonly used probability laws, enabling them to analyze and solve a variety of probability-related problems.
This strong foundation in probability theory will be a valuable skill, preparing the student to tackle fields such as statistics and stochastic analysis.
